It's 9 P.M. and Mikan Sakura has just finished her homework. She sings a short song while cleaning herself before going to bed. It's good to be in this academy after the war has finished, she thinks, because of it she knew about her history along with her parents and also the single star she earns. That's really worth a bunch. She walks out the bathroom then drinks a bottle of milk when suddenly she heard a knock on the window. At first it scares the hell out of her, but in curiousity she finally opens the curtain and too shock to find out. Natsume Hyuuga with bleeding wounds all over his skin. She almost yells if the boy didn't shush her fast. "Nat...how..what..,"

"The last mission from the academy. I never thought it would be harsh," he groans as the girl lays him carefully on her bed then takes her first aid to clean and stitch up his wound. Her expression telling him how much she regrets for not taking care of him as her partner. "It's not your fault," he finally says when the girl finishes her job but the girl shakes her head while holding back her tears. "I'm sorry, Natsume. I should've known. I should've help you with the mission too," this time it's his turn to frown. Imagine her facing the dangerous situation gives him goosebump. What if she's wounded and hurting just like him now, or worst what if she dies?

He quickly knocks the thought away as the girl pulls up the blanket over his body. "Since tomorrow is Sunday, I'll sleep on the sofa. Sleep well, Natsume," with that she stands up but in a second, pair of strong arms quickly pull her until she lays down on the bed. "I can't sleep alone," he says in a low voice "It hurts," At first she's blushing by his words but now while feeling guilty it looks like he really needs company since Natsume is tipically not a spoiled kid. "I will," and so with that soft voice of her, she agrees to him as they both lay on the same bed with eyes closed. Since it's hers, it's actually pretty small. She tries not to move so he won't awake, but it seems like the boy's also feeling uncomfortable with the cramp bed and he, being straight forward, embrace her.

"Natsume!" she hisses but the Hyuuga's just mouthing a short "Hnn," then continues his sleep. "Let go, Natsume!" this time she uses a little force so he'll open his eyes. And yes he did. He looks at the blushing girl with a cute pout, makes him hold himself not to kiss her right there. "It's not a big deal, Polka," before she could protest with the nickname he continues "People do skinships while they're feeling lonely, or sick, that's it," his words completely shut the girl now "And I demand mine since I think and you know I've got a few bruises here and a bit fever now," she quickly palms his forehead and feels the slight heat on his body, but he refuses to let her get the compress.

"I just need you now," he hugs her closer as his skin keeps contact with her. "Your skin is nice. It's cool me down," he mumbles and she couldn't help to blush by his blunt speech together with his sly hands. "Nat—," she gulps down a moan as his rough warm palm touch her all over. Her head, her forehead to her cheeks and necks, from below her thigh and under her shirt. But she can't complain, she just wants to be a good partner for him. She keeps herself awake until he really stops what he's doing.

Natsume finally opens his eyes as the morning sun hits his sight after last night that seems like a hangover for him. His eyes widened to see the girl on his arms, sleeping peacefully. The messy raven haired hides his blush as he purposely goes back to sleep after whispering something on her sleeping ears.

"Thanks a lot, Mikan."

You know what you gonna do, right?
